Agca has declared himself to be the second Messiah and harbinger of humanity's doom.

In a typically bizarre statement distributed on his release from a high-security prison near Ankara he said: "I proclaim the end of the world. All the world will be destroyed in this century. Every human being will die in this century.

"The Gospel is full of mistakes. I will write the perfect Gospel."

The 52-year-old Turk signed his name as "The Christ eternal" on the document which was attached to a picture of him shaking hands with John Paul II when they met 26 years ago to be reconciled.

He waved as he left the prison in a convoy of security vehicles en route to a military hospital to be assessed for compulsory military service.

A 2006 Turkish military hospital report diagnosed Agca as unfit for military service because of a "severe anti-social personality disorder".

Agca has, in the past, offered to team up with Dan Brown, the best-selling religious conspiracy writer to produce a novel called The Vatican's Code.

He has also volunteered to go to Afghanistan to kill Osama Bin Laden, al-Qaeda's leader.

The late Pope visited Agca in his Italian jail in 1983 and forgave him for the attack, which had left the Pontiff seriously wounded.

Agca shot Pope John Paul II on May 13, 1981, as the Pontiff rode in an open car in St Peter's Square. The Pope was hit in the stomach, left hand and right arm, but the bullets missed his vital organs.

The motive for his attack has always remained unclear and has never been linked to Islamic religious or political motives.

After being arrested, Agca insisted that he had acted alone but later suggested the Bulgaria and the Soviet Union's KGB were behind the attack.

He dropped the allegations after claiming that the attack was part of a divine plan in his self-proclaimed role as a second Messiah.

In his memoir Memory and Identity, John Paul II wrote that he was convinced that the attempted assassination was planned and commissioned.

Agca has promised to answer questions about the attack after his release and a journey to Istanbul.

"We are not running away from the media, he may speak in a few days," said Gokay Gultekin, his lawyer.

Agca has said he is beginning to consider book, film and television documentary offers.

He served 19 years in an Italian prison for shooting the Pope and was then transferred to spend another 10 years in Turkey for the earlier murder of a newspaper editor.

Hi! No, not possible forget such a guy, such an act. Impossible forget also his "circus" to appear crazy. The Holy Father has forgiven, amen. But after such a long time for the ordinary people of this world still is not clear who and what was back the shooting in St Peter square.

[blackcat_attilio]

Hi! Just readed on the news: on the Turkish TV he is... a dancer! "Deputy killer", "guardian of the truth" , Messiah on earth" and now "showman"... Lucid madness ?

How come he wasn't executed in the first place?

No, sorry still alive still "clown" to survive.

[red14]

I can't think of many things worse than killing the Pope.

[blackcat_attilio]

And still today we don't know what and who was back the criminal act.

[red14]

Sounds eerily familiar with Kennedy(s) and King murders. Something not sounding right.

+1 !

It does seem to me there a dark forces in the background. It is said that a handful of people own the world.

[blackcat_attilio]

It could be. ...or it is ?

[red14]

I don't know. But, I believe that it may. There have been so many twists and turns in history.

BTW, it is 11:16 PM, Saturday here. What is the time of day there?

Reminds me of the Bojinka Plot were Ramzi Yousef and Khalid Shaikh Mohammed planned to blow up twelve airliners and kill the pope back in 1995. It was all foiled by a kitchen fire
